Upgraded to Galaxy S3 with Data Contract, What happens if I end the data, but keep voice plan?

Upgraded to Galaxy S3 with Data Contract, What happens if I end the data, but keep voice plan?

Say I upgraded to Galaxy S3 with 2 yr ATT Data Contract, What happens if I end the data plan after 14-50 days, but keep voice/text plan. Do I have to pay a hefty fee or have to return the smartphone(with 30 day restocking fee)?

With the smartphone, a data plan is required. You do not have to return the phone if you swap phones on your account with a non-smartphone, but you are still tied to the 2 year contract for the upgrade.You CANNOT use a smartphone without a data plan.

as mentioned the data plan is required and you only have a 14 day window now to return the phone

I figure it would turn out like this since the major 4 carriers are very protective of their smartphone cash cow plans. Your post has been helpful in helping me decide to switch to a low cost unlock phone plan.

I'm off to the google store to try to fish for any leftover Nexus 4. You have a nice day, Sir Federer "G.O.A.T." :]

just remember - if they determine youare violating the terms of service without a data plan they will add it back which is perfectly within their rights to do so. they will not place a data block on a smartphone also

Both the Galaxy SIII and the Nexus 4 are compatible (can be moved without a new phone purchase) with T Mobile's new no-contract price plans.

only if they are eligible for unlock, if they are not they are not compatible until they are

The Nexus 4 only exists as an unlocked phone.

I guess that was the reason I could not find it on att's sales site, ust figured it wsa not out yet. Never did care for android devices so I don;t pay attention to them that much and we do no vertical market development for them
